I want answers, not faith.

Today in confirmation, I noticed that one of the vows of baptism is "Will you forgo all Satan's pleasures and temptations, for he is the Author of All Evil?" The proper response is "I do", but not for me

Yeah, the catholic church is kind of crazy and hypocritical. But I applaud you for saying something to your mom about how you feel about some of the dumb stuff that the church does, cause my parents are waaaay too catholic for them to deal well with me telling them most of my views on the church. Standing in the church during my confirmation saying "I do" to all of the statements was probably one of the hardest things that i've ever had to do because i could barely hold in my disgust at some of the things that the church assumes is good and right.

Most people don't think about these things because it's easier. To blindly follow the faith is much easier than going out and taking the initiative and asking questions. Most people simply can't deal with the fact that what they've been brought up to believe is wrong.

But (and after this I'm done I swear) god is a good thing. And the reason why I didn't use a capital G is because who knows what kind of god it really is.

I only capitalize God because it seems wrong to not in writing. My parents have bred the fear-of-god-catholic deep into my very bones. But they know that I don't plan to attend church once I move out.

I, myself, think that the all powerful deity is a She. And Adam and Eve were her bad experiments gone awry when She got bored.

I'm dreading conformation, oh excuse me, confirmation. There must be something wrong about standing up and lying to a priest while staring at a statue of the impaled Jesus.
